Kabanata 3
The CaptainSeconds had passed and my hand can't hold anymore. The pressure of the strong waves are making my body move and I might fall on the water.
Patuloy ako sa pag-iyak habang pilit na inaangat ang sarili kahit na hindi ko kaya. I wanted to just let go because whatever I do, my body is giving up.
I was about to let my hand slip when someone grabbed me. A strong hand pulled me. A man saved me. Hinang-hina ako habang napapaupo sa lapag at habol ang hininga. Umaalog pa rin ang buong barko ngunit hindi kagaya kanina'y medyo humina na ang mga alon.
Napalingon ako sa lalaking nasa harapan ko, niligtas niya ako. I stared at him, he has long red hair with a straw hat on his head. His body is well built, I can even see his muscles forming under his shirt. He's tall and has a strong but angelic face.
"You're lucky I saw your hand and I was able to save you." sambit niya.
Hindi ko mapigilang mapayuko at mapahagulgol. Niyakap ko ang aking mga tuhod. Akala ko ay mamamatay na ako. Sa katangahan ko ay napahamak ko pa ang sarili kong buhay. How stupid I am!
"S-salamat," ang tanging salitang lumabas sa nanginginig kong bibig.
"You're welcome. You must be the girl Xen was talking about. You mistakenly ride my ship, am I right?"
Tumango ako at hindi pa rin siya tinititigan.
"I am the Captain of this ship, Lexus. At sa tingin ko'y alam mo nang mga pirata kami."
I nodded again.
"What's your name?" tanong niya.
Napaangat ako ng tingin at sinalobong ang mga mata niyang kulay itim at puno ng kuryusidad.
"A-alice," tipid kong sagot.
Hindi mapigilan ng aking katawan na manginig dahil basang-basa ako at malakas ang ihip ng hangin. Mas lalo kong hinigpitan ang pagyakap sa sarili.
"Alice?" napatanga ako nang ulitin ng Kapitan ang pangalan ko.
Tumango ulit ako pero kita ko sa mukha niya na hindi siya kumbensido sa sagot ko.
"You can sail with us only until we reach our next destination, we're now heading to the Island of Gweal. We'll drop you there at ikaw na ang bahala sa sarili mo." tumalikod na siya pero agad ko siyang pinigilan.
"P-pero hindi ko---"
"You are not our responsibility, Alice. We didn't force you to ride my ship, you just intrude here. I'll give you the half of my food for you to survive, but don't expect a plenty and delicious." nilingon niya si Xen na tahimik na nakikinig sa amin, "Xen, let her borrow some of your shirts. I am sure she's cold."utos niya dito.
Xen helped me to stand up and brought me to her room. Ang sabi niya ay iyong kwartong tinulugan ko ay kay Kapitan Lexus. Maybe the fish I killed was his. Napalunok ako nang wala sa oras.
"Pasensya na kung naabala ko kayo," paghingi ko nang tawad sa kanya.
I know I am the one who made a mistake. I troubled them with my stupidity. They're strangers, pirates. Hindi ko alam kung paano sila trumato ng tao lalo na iyong mga katulad ko.
